City hires firm to develop comprehensive plan

AUBURN -- A private firm from Saratoga Springs will develop the city of Auburn's comprehensive plan.

During its first meeting of the month, Auburn City Council unanimously approved a resolution awarding the bid for the plan to Saratoga Associates. The company will be paid $116,000 to develop a plan that examines the future of the city's infrastructure, economic development and other issues.

Half of that cost will be covered by a grant from the Stardust Foundation.
